Online revocation checks must be done.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-44789 DTBC-0037 SV-57623r1_rule Medium
Description
By setting this policy to true, the previous behavior is restored and online OCSP/CRL checks will be performed. If the policy is not set, or is set to false, then Chrome will not perform online revocation checks. Certificates are revoked when they have been compromised or are no longer valid, and this option protects users from submitting confidential data to a site that may be fraudulent or not secure.
